144 Basic structural design considerations and properties of glass and aluminum structures Chan Research Center for Advanced Technology in structural Engineering (RCATISE) Department of Civil and structural Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Synopsis A short review for design consideration of two common materials used in facade and curtain walling is presented. The characteristics of light-weight facade enveloping a building are different from the conventional steel or concrete structures. glass cannot crack like concrete and it is much more brittle than steel. Aluminum involves many buckling modes similar to but more common than steel. Owing to the low Young modulus of elasticity around 1/3 of steel, buckling and large deflection nonlinear effects are important consideration in their design .
